Question about matches that won't end

Tom_ImpPosted on 04/25/03 at 05:13:27

Has it ever been determined what actually causes the occurrence of matches that refuse to end and keep going to the 10 hour time out?

I have to say that is probably the most annoying bug of TNM and I really wish that would be fixed if possible.

I think there are several reasons. The one thing I have noticed is with the moveset. I made a guy that was a mockery of Ric Flair, I gave him 10 average moves, including the chop. But the problem arose when I gave him the chop as his combo moves, his corner moves, his setup move and his finisher like move. Every match he was in would go 10 hours, and the match would consist of him giving 300+ chops in a row to the opponent.

A classic infinite look... if combo move 1 is a chop and combo move 2 is a chop, obviously combo move 2 will be combo move 1 again... ad infinitum ;-)

Tom - there are actually only two reproducable ways of getting bit by this bug:

1) One wrestler doesn't have even one move that he can do to his opponent weight-wise and
2) The moves the people in the match can do won't be able to finish, e.g. a submission match with two people sans submissions.

Everything else is what I call freak occurrences which disappear as quickly as they appear and - even more importantly- don't happen every time you try.

If you ever run into an occurrence which persists, please immediately close TNM (with the match/card not finished), ZIP it up and send it my way. That would be a great help.

Thanks !

The match it occurred in recently was a tag match between The Road Warriors and The Fabulous Freebirds (Garvin & Hayes). Right there you can see that the weight problem wouldn't be an issue and all 4 of these men have regular pinning finishers as opposed to submission finishers. This is one that would probably be chalked up as a freak occurrence.

I'll run a bunch tonight and if I run into the problem again I will make sure to send it over to you. Thanks Oliver.
